The Irish standard., 1887-12-10


|Iattrlbutes II Irish are proverbially
said to possess. If the Irish people
were drunkards Parnell and his co
Ilaborers in Ireland's regeneration
could not have ccomplished what they
IhayeEdone; the people could not have
exercised such self control under CO.
i ercion laws and the Judges would not
have received white gloves on their
circuits for the absence Of criminal
cases On the calendar Therefore, un-
til the Rev. Burrill produces proof to
back up bis assertion I accuse him Of
bearing false witness against the Irish
nation. The cause of all the affections
4 Of ireland is that the Irish have not
been allowed to govern their own
country. Landlord absenteeism and
rum are fos tered by the alien rulers Of
/ Ireland and are a part of the odious
machinery employed to impoverish and
degrade the people. '.Distilling and
| its related industries" says a writer
in the North American Review, ''are
the only manufactures spared by Eng
lish legislation for Ireland, and by
keeping Intoxicating drink cheap in
Ireland she would be rendered less able
to cast off the yoke of her oppressor.'
The patriotic representatives of Ire
land, however, have succeeded in get
ting bill passed for the closing of
saloons on Sunday, and they are de-
termined not only to get rid of foreign
misrule but to Danish its concomitants,
alien landlordism and drunkenness,
from their verdant isle as Saint Patrick
banished the snakes some fifteen CEN
turies ago.

Thomas Mast, the renegade Bayarian
Catholic, better known as the famous
or infamous eartoonist of Harpers'
Weekly, was in the city lately and had
something to say on politics. He is q
freetrader and mugwump of stalwart
tenuencles, "the only sort of mug
wump worth a d." as he grace
fully puts it. What effect had the
three lt's Of Burchard upon the cam
paign?'' asked a reporter OF him. and
he answered that they ought to have
elected Blaine as the sentiments ut
tered by the alliterative preacher were
noble ones, When asked his opinion
Of Irish Home R,.le he was astonished
that more interest had not been taken
in German, Polish Or Chinese Home
Rule. The viper hates the Irish as
much as The devil hates holy water. and
he has been caricaturing them for years
Us Africsn Chimpanzees. A renegade
in politics and religion he dnds it very
hard to vote the same ticket with the
Irish, and + think many Irish Ameri-
cans will find it hard to vote for the
man that either Mast OF Harpers'
Weekly favors for any Office. Their
advocacy Of a man should cause Irish
Americans to vote for his opponent.
I sincerely hope that no Irishman
worthy the name went to see or hear
this unprlncipled blackguard.

THE ORDER AND DELIHERY SYSTEM.

The New Milford Gazette of July 15, contains long and comprehensive edi- torial on the system of taking orders for goods and delivering goods, which has been developed by the merchants and the lazy, minimizing people as assis- tants.
 The editorial cites the folly, vexa- tions and expense of the system in New Milford and elsewhere, and among other statements makes the following :: GA New Milford merchant sold 8 spool of thread to lady, she wanted it delivered, and the clerk who took it to her home accompanied her to her domi- Gil, carrying the spool in one hand and regaling her with conversation. x " Omitting the dry goods merchants and others, who send clerks on foot with bundles to the homes of customers, we estimate that the wagon delivery system of the village costs S75 day. For year the cost is S23, ,475, or un- doubtedly twice as much as it ought to be. Fewer teams and fewer delivered goods are what the merchants should come to. "To make business profitable at the present day, merchants must cut down expenses. It is already being done by the shrewd ones. In Bridgeport there is merchant worth $3O,0O0 or S40,0OO, who has made his money by Topping off expenses that his rivals have carried. He sells goods for cash and will not deliver. He will not even take bundle from his counter to the carriage of . customer in front of his store. As a consequence of his economical method, he is able to sell goods more cheaply than expense-bur- dened rivals, and what he does sell he gets his money for" "Not the man who makes the biggest show and does the largest volume of busi- ness necessarily makes the most money, but the man who gets the most out of what he does do, is the one who 'gets there Eli

 Our community was saddened last Wednesday afternoon by the, death of MT Michael Curtin.

From that time he grew steadily worse until his death. MT Curtin was one of the most prominent citizens of this town, where his sterling character and strict integri- ty had won the respect of all who knew him. He was native of Ireland, but had lived in New Marlboro nearly forty wears. He leaves a wife and several children, who have the sympathy of the whole community in their great atflic- tiOn.
